Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Why the fuck does BBC sounds have so much tracking???
Probably to collect all that it can to sell the data. Or they fucked up the feature and it triggers a connection attempt each second or sth.
I mean, even for your average commercial app, that's an absolutely insane rate. I'm betting it keeps retrying whenever it fails or something
Yeah, honestly that almost looks like straight-up incompetence, like a ton of polling going on.
Yeah, I wondered that but I'm no tech expert.
